At the Grammy Awards of 1970, Peter, Paul and Mommy won the Grammy for Best Recording for Children.[2]
According to Paul Stookey, the album grew naturally from the fact that all the previous albums the trio had released contain at least one children's song.[3] The album contains new songs as well as some songs they had previously recorded. Songs such as "It's Raining" and "Puff (The Magic Dragon)", found on earlier albums, were re-recorded for the album with a backing children choir. The single "Day is Done", written by Peter Yarrow, is also a different recording from the one on the album. "The Marvelous Toy" and "Going To The Zoo" are songs by Tom Paxton.[4]
